Hello, my husband had a passport request in October 2019 but he wasn't able to send his passport as he had to finish his PhD in Tehran and they help on to his passport. They granted us an extension till April as that was when his medical's expired. They said that if he doesn't land in April they will reject the application and we would have to start over. When we my lawyer sent them a letter in March asking for a longer extension they responded that due to Corona his application would not be rejected solely on not sending the passport and that we would automatically get a 90 day extension. This would continue until we were ready to travel. We sent them another letter in October when he finished his PhD. We are still waiting on their response.

I have read recently that they are trying to process 6000 applications a month. Does anyone have any experience with this? We really want to be back in Canada by the new year as my mom is old and lives alone. Any suggestions on how to speed up the process or get a hold of someone that could help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I just found out that my STUPID lawyer put the wrong UCI number on all correspondence with IRCC. I changed representatives half way through my application. There are no updates on my application and i am freaking out!!!
